[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No it's not okay.

I have the opposite problem. My daycare lets kids run around nonstop during meal times. WHY?! My 2.5 year old happily sat during all meals, started daycare and now we fight nonstop with her at every meal. When daycare loses control of several kids, the others all follow suit like little ducks and now none of them stay seated. I think a lot of it is teacher training. They need to work with those kids who don't stay seated. But kids should only have to sit for meals. Reading and circle time should be sitting on carpets. And all other times should be free motion.

How are teachers able to stop one kid who refuse to stay in her cot from running around disrupting other kids who are sleeping or trying to sleep?  The ratio is 1:8. Seems like an impossible task. The teacher can try to teach the child but it can take weeks before the child learns what’s expected of her.

Where is a 1:8 ratio legal for kids this age?

MD is 1:3 until they turn 2.  Then it's 1:6, but by that point you have kids moving up from toddlers who already know how to lie on a cot, so at most you have one new kid at a time who needs help.

The kids learn.  [/quote]

In Virginia the ratio is 1:8 for ages 2-3[/quote]
